The Chase superfans have shared their concerns online after the same quiz show was axed in Spain earlier this year as many took to Reddit to share their fears. The Chase first launched in the UK in 2009 with presenter Bradley Walsh at the helm. It has been a beloved fixture in the mid-evening slot for over 15 years. Loyal viewers have since taken to social media and suggested the show could revamp two key areas. It comes after the Spanish version of The Chase, titled El Cazador, was cancelled. It concluded its run in April 2025, after being on the air since February 2020. The cancellation was reportedly due to declining ratings.

One Reddit user mused: “The show isn’t as fresh as it used to be and could do with them trying out new things to freshen up the formula.” But one loyal viewer hit back: “I disagree. The format is good as is. Spain tried changing the format last year and now the show is being cancelled. Australia also changed some things this year which I believe made the show worse and more complicated than it needs to be.”
